Ather 450 E-Scooter Purchased With Rs. 10 Coins
In a post shared on X by Tarun Mehta, Ather Energy CEO, a Jaipur resident has purchased Ather 450 electric scooter but with a twist. The caption on the post reads, ” A new Ather owner just bought himself a 450 in Jaipur … all with 10Re coins!”. The customer made the entire payment for the new Ather 450 electric scooter using just Rs. 10 coins. The post clearly displays the coin bags using which the e-scooter was bought neatly placed on the table top.
This is the first time such an incident is reported where the payment for a electric two-wheeler has been made using only currency coins. The image also shows the owner being handed over the keys for the new Ather 450 electric scooter that was purchased with the currency coins.

Total Amount Paid And Model Purchased
Well, the exact amount is unspecified by the post. The company’s CEO has also mentioned a sum of over Rs. 1 lakh which has been paid using Rs. 10 coins. Also, the Ather 450 e-scooter model which has been purchased using the Rs. 10 currency coins also remains unknown.
Just to recap, there are currently three different Ather 450 models that are available for purchase in India with the starting price range being Rs. 1.10 lakh. The top end Ather 450 model costs up to Rs. 1.45 lakh (ex showoroom). Nevertheless, even if the customer purchased the base model of the Ather 450 electric scooter, the amount paid in coins makes up for a huge bulk which is evident with the image shared on X.
